It's a triumph of vile over content; mindless nihilism posing as hipness".[23] Cinefantastique magazine'due south Steve Biodrowski wrote, "Whereas 1 might reasonably have expected that the combo of Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez would yield a critical mass of nuclear proportions, instead of an diminutive fireball'southward worth of amusement, we get a long fuse, quite a bit of fizzle, and a rather minor blast".[24] In his review for the San Francisco Relate, Mick LaSalle chosen the moving-picture show, "an ugly, unpleasant criminals-on-the-lam film that midway turns into a boring and completely repellent vampire 'one-act'. If it'due south not one of the worst films of 1996 information technology will have been i miserable year".[25] In Marc Savlov's review for the Austin Chronicle, he wrote, "Fans of Merchant Ivory will do well to steer clear of Rodriguez's newest opus, but both action and horror pic fans have crusade for commemoration after what seems like a particularly long splatter-drought. This is horror with a wink and a nod to bulldoze-in theatres and sweaty back seats. This is how it'due south washed".[26]
